When the waves of grief crash upon us, how do we stay afloat in an ocean of sorrow? CJ Infantino with The Day After Podcast , a widowed father who has steered through the storm of losing his spouse, joins us to illuminate the hidden intricacies of grief, sharing his voyage from darkness to finding a beacon of hope. He confronts the societal currents that urge us to 'move on,' advocating for a more understanding and active engagement with grief, which does not simply fade with time but evolves as we navigate our new realities.
The conversation isn't confined to shared experiences; it casts a light on therapeutic innovations that might pave the road to recovery. CJ shares the profound relief he found in somatic therapy and biofield tuning, offering insights on connecting with our bodies and minds to foster healing. Through this intimate exchange, we hope to extend a lifeline of solace and guidance for those who find themselves adrift in the vast expanse of bereavement, ensuring that no one has to navigate these waters alone.

Humor and Resilience in the Cancer Journey
In this heartfelt episode, we explored the unexpected ally in our battles against life's adversities: humor with Dr Brad Miller, host of the Cancer And Comedy Podcast
We shared moments of levity and deep insight, revealing how laughter — that precious release of endorphins — serves as a counter to the stress-induced cortisol that floods our bodies in times of crisis. We talked about creating a personal coping credo, rooted in action and spiritual grounding, that centers on being present, particularly for the loved ones in our lives.
Inspiration was a heartbeat of today's talk. You heard about Brad Miller's remarkable journey with prostate cancer and his creation of the Cancer And Comedy Podcast to support others in finding hope through humor.
